Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Fearing that Tian Xiue might be worried, Zhao Yan spun around in front of her and even swung her arms and legs to stretch.

"See, I'm really fine."

Tian Xiu'e was completely relieved.

"It's good that you're alright. You can't be so reckless when you encounter a herd of wild boars in the future. Wild boars have thick skin and a stubborn streak. If you get hit by one, it's no joke."

"Okay, I understand, Sister Tian. I'm so hungry, let's go eat first, and then we can clean up."

Zhao Yan awkwardly touched her nose and pulled Tian Xiu'e towards the kitchen.

If it weren't for the infighting among the wild boars, she really wouldn't have dared to make any rash moves.

She might be able to handle one against two, but against a pair of over thirty thick-skinned wild boars, she'd probably lose her life.

"We've already eaten, but we left some rice for you in the pot."

Tian Xiu'e pressed Zhao Yan down onto a stool, took a plate of rabbit meat stir-fried with wild vegetables from the pot and placed it on the table, and then stuffed two dark pancakes into Zhao Yan's hands.

"Hurry up and eat. Xiaomi is already asleep, and Jiaojiao is keeping her company."

"Then I'm welcome."

After working for almost two hours, Zhao Yan was indeed hungry. She didn't mind that the dark flatbread was rough on her throat, and slowly ate the flatbread clean with a plate of rabbit meat stir-fried with wild vegetables.

In the courtyard, Tian Xiu'e was processing the half-grown wild boar in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Wild boar fur is long and stiff, and it doesn't taste good at all.

She didn't keep it and just peeled off the pig's skin.

She cleaned out the internal organs one by one and placed them in the bamboo basket next to her, while the large and small intestines were casually placed on the ground.

We'll take these outside and bury them in a hole later.

She cut the fat off the wild boar and put it in a clean bamboo basket; it could be rendered into lard, which was a good thing.

Pork bones and pork ribs were also sorted out.

She kept some of the remaining meat and decided to marinate the rest.

As the weather gets hotter, meat doesn't keep well, but marinating it allows you to eat it slowly without worrying about it spoiling.

However, it won't work next month.

Meat doesn't keep well in the summer, so it's best to eat it within a month to avoid waste.

After finishing dinner, Zhao Yan came out of the kitchen and her eyes lit up when she saw the pile of pig intestines on the ground.

"Sister Tian, ​​you don't want these anymore?"

Tian Xiu'e glanced at the stinking pig intestines and looked disgusted.

"Oh dear, put it down quickly. Pig intestines don't taste good even when cooked. I'll dig a hole and bury it later."

Buried?

"It's such a waste to throw them away. I'll take care of these intestines."

Zhao Yan paused for a moment, then carried the wild boar intestines toward the kitchen.

"Eh... fine, do whatever you want."

Tian Xiu'e opened her mouth, but in the end, she said nothing.

Once she tasted it, she calmed down.

Zhao Yan found a chipped wooden basin in the kitchen and put the pig intestines in it.

She originally wanted to use white flour to clean the pig intestines, but then she thought that white flour was a precious food at this time, and Sister Tian would definitely scold her for being wasteful. In the end, she had no choice but to use black flour to clean the pig intestines repeatedly.

There wasn't much water in the earthenware jar to begin with.

Tian Xiu'e used quite a bit of her medicine to deal with the wild boar, and there was still some left in the earthenware jar.

Zhao Yan scooped out some water and poured it into a wooden basin. Where Tian Xiu'e couldn't see, she secretly poured some mineral water from the system shelf.

After rubbing and washing it repeatedly four or five times, the pig intestines were finally cleaned and the odor was basically gone.

"Sister Tian, ​​wait for me, I'll make you some stir-fried pig intestines."

Just do it.

Zhao Yan started heating the oil in the wok and got to work.

Once the oil was hot, Zhao Yan added the spices and stir-fried them until fragrant, then added the pig intestines.

"Bah-"

With the sound, a rich, savory aroma of meat immediately wafted out of the kitchen.

"Mom, what delicious food has Aunt Zhao made this time?"

Chen Qingjiao ran out of the bedroom and peered into the kitchen from the doorway.

After cleaning the wild boar meat, Tian Xiu'e got up and came over to investigate.

"Your Aunt Zhao said she's going to stir-fry pig intestines. It smells so good!"

Chen Qingjiao's eyes lit up as she stared intently at Zhao Yan's stir-fried pork intestines.

Smelling the delicious aroma in the air, she asked impatiently, "Aunt Zhao, is it ready?"

"immediately."

Zhao Yan slowly stir-fried the fragrant pig intestines, glancing at the two people outside the door every now and then, making Chen Qingjiao feel embarrassed.

After stirring it for a few more moments, Zhao Yan said, "It's done."

Chen Qingjiao quickly went to get a bowl, "Aunt Zhao, use this to serve."

The pig intestines were served in a bowl.

Chen Qingjiao and Tian Xiue stood around the table, looking down at the contents of their bowls.

Tian Xiu'e hesitated for a moment.

"Yan'er, are you sure this is how you eat it?"

It smells different now; it's strangely fragrant.

Zhao Yan nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, you can eat it."

"Mom, let me taste it first to see if it's good."

Chen Qingjiao's mouth watered, and she unceremoniously picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

The pig intestines melted in her mouth, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wow—delicious, delicious, even better than fatty meat."

She chewed and nodded, and while she was talking, she picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.

"I'll try some too."

Seeing her daughter's greedy look, Tian Xiu'e picked up her chopsticks, took a piece, and slowly put it into her mouth.

"Yes, it really works!"

It doesn't smell bad, and it doesn't taste bad either.

She chewed a few times and swallowed the pig intestines, then asked Zhao Yan beside her, "Yan'er, how did you prepare this? It has no taste at all, and it's actually quite delicious."

Uh……

Zhao Yan couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

She used black flour to scrub the intestines, and it took her three pounds of black flour to clean them. She also secretly used white vinegar and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell.

She dared not say these things, because if she did, Sister Tian would definitely not let her handle these pig intestines again next time.

"Hehe, I didn't do much treatment, just... washed it vigorously with water."

Just wash it more often.

We still need to separate from the Yang family and live independently as soon as possible, so that it will be easier for us to do whatever we want.

As long as Madam Yang agrees to release the people, the rest of the Yang family will be fine.

Under what circumstances would Yang Zhangshi agree to release the person?

Zhao Yan thought about it silently for a moment and decided to take her daughter back to see how things were going.

……

midnight.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and it was pitch black in the night.

Zhao Yan was resting with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the door of the woodshed.

Someone is prying the door open!

Her heart sank suddenly, and she very quietly rolled out of bed.

She pushed her daughter further into the bed, gripped the dagger tightly, and quietly hid behind the door.

The bolt was pushed aside little by little.

"Bah."

The door opened.

Someone gently opened the door and quietly walked into the woodshed.

It's now.

Zhao Yan suddenly emerged from the shadows and kicked the thief.

"boom--"

The thief who broke into the woodshed was caught off guard and kicked to the ground outside by Zhao Yan, where he couldn't get up for a long time.

Zhao Yan coldly demanded from the darkness, "Who goes there?"

"Heh, enough talk, let's go!"

In the courtyard, the man in black dodged backward, and immediately five or six thugs rushed towards Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan's eyes narrowed sharply, and her body tensed abruptly.
